It was a sweltering August night in North Texas. A half moon hung in the evening sky. Reverend William England, his wife Selena, and her children had just finished their evening prayers and were getting ready for bed when three men wearing bandanas around their heads walked up to the front porch of the England home. The trio walked into the house and immediately started attacking its occupants. First, they killed the reverend, then his step daughter, next her brother, and finally, England’s wife Selena.
